Workin it with the Langdon Park Massive

Did a workshop this morning with year 10 pupils at Langdon Park School in Poplar. Most fun I’ve had in ages. We were a bit worried at first, thinking the kids would be harder and cooler than us but they were wicked! They were well into our music and well up for making music together. Made a class band called The Dream and wrote a piece on the spot called ‘De Ja Vue’. All their own ideas. Wicked. The whole class is coming to our album launch at Kokos in November! Look out for a thirty 15 year olds mashin’ up in the front row… Reminded me of the inspiring times musicians came in to my school. Got to give it to get it…

NEW ALBUM IS FLYING OFF THE SHELVES PEOPLE! Good reviews keep coming in. Top times in the Portico camp. We are live on ‘In Tune’ on Radio 3 tomorrow… tune in 5.10pm….
